Despite ALL of the local “HATE” we are hoping that congratulations are in order. There are rumors that Bravo’s reality series “Southern Charm” is slated to return for a second season. A lot of people from South Carolina had PLENTY of negative things to say about the show – but we know how that is. In the end, Thomas Ravenel and his crew came out on top pulling in 1.2 million total viewers on the final episode. Of course, these numbers are attributed to the announcement that 22 year old Kathryn Dennis and 51 year old Thomas Ravenel celebrated the birth of their new baby girl. Despite Ravenel’s shady past and his arrogance on the show, I’m actually glad to see hear that Southern Charm may be returning to television. We’ll keep you posted!
March 2 2014
Congrats are in order for the Carolina’s very own Thomas Ravenel Jr, the star of Bravo TV’s “Southern Charm. 51 yr-old Ravenel and his Boo Thang 22 yr-old Kathryn Dennis are celebrating the arrival of their brand new baby girl.

Sooo when she goes to prom, he’ll be….umm nevermind all that, check out the cute pic!
Bravo released the trailor this week of the new reality show “Southern Charm” that will premiere on the TV network in March. Take a look.
Yes, that’s right, Bravo has been filming here in the lowcountry, for about 7 months to premiere a new reality show based in Charleston, SC. The show is the about the so-called “Closed Society”, you know the Charleston Aristocracy – that means – Charleston’s Well-To-Do natives. The star of the show is our very own Thomas Ravenel – you guys remember – our former state treasurer who served time for cocaine charges out there in the Mt. Pleasant area. Ravenel was also recently arrested in July on DUI charges in Hampton NY. Other cast members include Shep Rose, nephew of former S.C. Department of Safety director Boykin Rose and executive producer Whitney Sudler-Smith. Sudler-Smith is the son of Patricia Altshul, the Manhattan socialite who moved to a mansion South of Broad in 2008.
Was it just me that thought they got rid of Black Bike Week in Myrtle Beach, SC?? Well, if they did, there seems to be some type of re-emergence of the notorious Black Bike Week in South Carolina. Now back in my college/post college days, me and the crew crammed up in somebody’s truck for a weekend of drunken foolery, ahhhh those were the days – even though I was scared of motorcycles, it was cool to just kick it in a nice suite or hotel for the weekend, meet new people, and laugh at all of the fuckery ensuing around us.
Well apparently, it’s all going down once again, starting May 23rd until May 26th . Now I read somewhere that there are going to be approximately 500,000 people from all over the country coming down for BBW – what the ENTIRE F***?!? That number sounds crazy, but when I think back to the traffic and hotel overcrowding, I guess it’s not THAT hard to believe – hotttdamn! Anywho, In honor of 2014 Bike Week, 99.3 The Box’s very own DJ Tantrum created an entire mixtape for you to enjoy while you spend hours chilling in traffic on Ocean Drive! And I must say, it’s the ultimate shake that ass in traffic mixtape, and best of all ITS FREE!!! CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD, have fun, be safe, and DRINK RESPONSIBLY!!

To all of my fellow Gamecocks, much love to you all! We have come a long, long, long, long way baby. I remember the days where we could barely win a game! I remember getting a job as a “ticket-taker” at the front gate of Williams-Brice Stadium in the ratchet beautiful, Columbia, SC. We were dressed in Khakis and a white shirt, and had thousands of people trying to bumrush our azzes just to go look at a team, who we knew were going to lose.
Ah yes, I remember there was a time where chicks on campus were getting pregnant for football players, and we couldn’t understand it because, damnit they weren’t going Pro – why are you fools ruining your lives for some college sports hero asshole?
I remember when Lou Holtz came to coach for the University of South Carolina and our ignorant minds couldn’t understand why they would hire someone who was over 100 years old to coach? (I didn’t know Lou was a Boss, my bad Lou).
I remember standing in those long lines at the Russell House because we wanted our free student football game tickets, even though we could have cared less about using them, we were just getting them because a friend of a friend was coming to town and wanted to see a game. Oh yeah, and then having to get a student ID for that friend of a friend so they could pass as a student. We were so clever and maniacal!
I remember looking forward to the pre/after-party for the football games, way more than the actual game. Hell I remember, (when I wasn’t “ticket-taking”) getting a nap in during the football games so I could be well-rested for the after-game parties! I mean who wants to see their school lose….again and again.
Oh and of course, I remember the notorious Clemson vs. University of SC games – our rivals! Clemson beat our asses every year that I attended college at USC! And how being a “ticket-taker” at the front-gate of a Clemson vs. USC game meant, “membership had its privileges”. Hell yes, strangers would offer us – sometimes $50 to let them in without a ticket – and did some of us let them in? Hell Yes, we were COLLEGE STUDENTS! Sheeet, don’t judge me! (Students, don’t try that now, they will put your azzes out of school).
OK, so fine, I wasn’t the greatest supporter of football during my 4 years at the University of South Carolina. But over the years, I have paid close attention to the team I once ignored as a college student. I have seen them grow. USC cut the check and brought in Washington Redskin’s coach Steve Spurrier and this dude, according to the garnetandblackattack.com, averages putting approximately 4.8 college players into the NFL Draft every year since his arrival in 2005. You go Spurrier! (Nae Nae-ing as I type this).
I’ve watched these dudes kick ass and take names throughout the years, repping the Gamecocks proudly and hell, they turned this fair-weather USC grad into a true fan. I’ve seen how Spurrier has molded our team into a 5-star force in college football. From: Marcus Lattimore, Sheldon Brown, John Abraham, Antonio Allen, Jasper Brinkley, Jared Cook, Clifton Geathers, Weslye Saunders, Alshon Jeffery – I can actually go on and on. We got to salute these dudes!
Now, we can add Jadeveon Clowney to this list, this is a dude they described as a “once-in-a-generation prospect”, claiming he looked like he should have been in the NFL since his high school days. Clowney lived up to his rep and of course he had some bumps along his journey, but on Thursday, May 9, 2014, it all paid off – making everyone in #GamecockNation proud, taking the title as the #1 Round Draft Pick in the NFL Draft.
So thank you Gamecocks for helping me to see the light, I apologize for not being a better fan while I was at College, but hey…I was an asshole (in my Gabby Sidibe voice).
By the way, Clemson fans….
• NFL No. 1 picks from Gamecocks: 2
• NFL No. 1 picks from Clemson: 0
